Item: Complete, 87 tape, 170+ episode, collection of Star Trek: The Next
Generation from Columbia House.

Description:

DVD is a mixed blessing. Here I am, happily the owner of every TNG episode
and what happens? Yup, DVDs. 5.1 Dolby Digital, improved picture, loaded
with extras (though not as many extras as I would have liked). Being the
helpless fanboy I am, I bought them. I spent damn near $2000.00 on these
tapes over a seven year period, and for what?!? A new format with improved
features to tempt me! Sheesh!

I know VHS tapes are outdated. I know that nearly every Trekker worth his
or her salt has already purchased box sets of the series on DVD. But still,
I want to unload these tapes and I want to make at least a small return on
my multi-year, multi-thousand dollar investment.

The facts:

-87 tapes with two or three episodes on them each.
-Hi-Fi stereo cassettes. Are of equal quality to the VHS tapes Paramount
released.
-Each tape has it's original cardboard case.

I'm hoping to make at least $100 off of these tapes, plus shipping. I'm
located in New Jersey, and I'd be willing to make alternate arrangements for
pickup by anyone in the area.

Thanks,
John

Your problem is that you have an eBay rating of 1. Many people, including
me, won't bid in an auction where the seller doesn't have a positive rating
of at least 15 or 20. Especially for something that is a substantial amount
of money.

If you have other stuff you are interested in auctioning on eBay, sell that
stuff first and get your rating higher. Or see if one of your friends has a
higher rating and will list it for you on their account. Even if their
rating is for buying, not selling, it would be better than trying to sell
from an account with one transaction on it.
